1． The famous magazine，Runner's World，has chosen some of the best，most difficult and enjoyable UK races.
Top of the Wolds 10 K Challenge
This 10-km countryside track in Yorkshire is all fun until you take the left turn at Nunburnholme.At this point，you enter a serious uphill part，but thankfully the uphill part only lasts for around 1.5 km.You'll have about a kilometre to enjoy the views before the way takes you downhill again，and back to where you started in Warter—a cute little village.
Scurry2 Bridges Run
This 161-km relay race （接力賽） is divided into 16 parts，so you each run 4 separate parts.Over the course of this day-long adventure，you'll each run about marathon distance while the workers will drive around for pick-ups and drop-offs at relay exchange points between the start in Dundee and the finish in Edinburgh.
Scafell Sky Race
Here's a trail run （越野跑） that is not suitable for beginners.With a total of 3，500 m of ascent （上坡路），this is unquestionably one of the hardest events around.Good thing is that the views are beautiful，and that there's hot food and a bottle of apple juice waiting for you in the end.
Offa's Dyke 15
The traditional 15-mile distance begins at the Clock Tower in Hay-on-Wye and includes a few hard climbs before finishing in Kington.This year the hard event has added a less challenging 10 km around Kington.

2． In the summer of 2015，Brian Peterson and his wife Vanessa had just moved to Santa Ana，California.Outside the couple's fourth-floor apartment，a homeless man was often yelling （叫喊） on the street corner，sometimes keeping them awake at night.Peterson would pass the man on his way to his job as a car designer，but they never spoke.
One day，Peterson was relaxing in his living room，reading a book about the power of love in action，when his quiet was influenced by the homeless man.Inspired （賦予靈感） by the book's message，Peterson made an unexpected decision：He was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation，Peterson learned that the man's name was Matt Faris.He'd moved to Southern California from Kentucky to look for a job in music，but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than twenty years. "It was the strangest thing to me，" Peterson thought of their first conversation. "I saw beauty on the face of a man who probably hadn't had a shower in close to a year.And his story，the life inside of him，moved me." And even though Peterson，a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art，hadn't picked up a paintbrush for about eight years，he found himself asking if he could paint Faris's portrait （肖像）.Faris said yes.
Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana，a nonprofit （非營利的） organization focusing on befriending and painting portraits of homeless people.Peterson sells the portraits with the owners' permission and puts the earning into the organization，which helps many poor people.

3． If you have difficulty sleeping well at night，you probably have tried anything that can bring good sleep.One thing might sound a little strange but has been known to work：adding a weighted blanket （毯子） to bedcovers.
About 32% of Americans don't get enough sleep，according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Experts there recommend at least 7 hours of shut-eye per night for adults.But as many as 35% of adults have trouble sleeping from time to time，and 10% regularly have trouble falling and staying asleep.
Just as swaddling （包裹） babies can send them to sleep，using a weighted blanket helps your heart and breathing slow and your body give off feel-good hormones （荷爾蒙）.This can help you feel less worried and sleep.The weight is usually between 5 and 30 pounds，which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed.
A 2020 review looked at 8 studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped people calm down.Another research carried out in Sweden in 2020 surveyed 120 people with sleeplessness and sadness.Those who used a weighted blanket reported that they had better sleep and were less tired，anxious and sad during the day.
"They've become the sleep tool to have，" says Alanna McGinn，a lead sleep expert. "I'm a huge supporter of them because they can work so well.People with blood illness should check with their doctor before using a weighted blanket.And if you're someone who gets a little claustrophobic （患幽閉恐怖癥的），it's probably not the best thing for you，" adds Alanna McGinn.
（1）What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show？
A．Some Americans have difficulty sleeping well.
B．About a third of Americans can sleep well for 7 hours.
C．Americans think it a good idea to swaddle a baby.
D．Most Americans have tried weighted blankets for a good sleep.
（2）How can a weighted blanket improve sleep according to the text？
A．By keeping you in silence.
B．By making you feel less worried.
C．By keeping you warm all the night.
D．By protecting you from the street light.
（3）What does McGinn say about weighted blankets？
A．They are key to a good sleep.
B．They can help to treat patients.
C．They are friendly to people with blood problems.
D．They may not be suitable for people with certain illness.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？
A．Hormones playing a role.
B．Americans suffering sleeplessness.
C．Weighted blankets probably improving your sleep.
D．Research dealing with sleeping problems.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5

In the spare time，Mrs Green always asked her sons，Alan and John to help their neighbor，Ms Maud，to clean her house because she was too old to do it herself.They helped Ms Maud throughout the spring.
Summer vacation just began.The two brothers planned to play tennis with friends every day，so they could make the freshman team.However，Alan's racket（球拍）was lost，which disappointed him a lot.
As usual，Alan and John came to Ms Maud's house to help her.They went down the block to the Ms Maud's and got started.Before cleaning，John put boxes that were thrown around the garage（車庫）floor on shelves.When John put a big box on a shelf，he found a tennis racket in the box.It was a new racket，which was exactly what Alan wanted.
"You've got to see this." John took out the tennis racket and showed it to Alan.
"Whoa，where did you get that？" Alan asked.John pointed to the shelf， "It was just in the box over there." Alan continued to say， "It is so beautiful.My tennis racket was missing.If we take it，I believe no one will ever know." He looked at the garage door，which was closed.
But John didn't think it's a good idea， "Well，we do a lot of things for Ms Maud and don't get paid.It's not really stealing.It's a kind of payment for our hard work，" said Alan.Without hesitation（猶豫），John looked at the racket，took it from Alan's hand and put it back in the box.
"Hello，boys." At that time，Ms Maud walked into the garage，surprising them. "I've made a cake.Can you come in for a piece？I really appreciate all the things you do for me." "Ugh...sure，Ms Maud，" said John. "Let us finish up and we'll be right in." Ms Maud went back to her house.
